Germination Guide (Microgreens)

• Prepare a container with drainage holes  - eg supermarket grape/fruit punnets
• Line the bottom of the container with a layer or two or (bleach-free) kitchen roll or similar
• Soak seeds in a glass of water for a few hours
• Soak the kitchen roll in the container with water and pour off any excess
• Scatter the seeds over the kitchen roll  and gently press them down to get a good contact
• Cover the seeds and the kitchen roll with a with a layer of wet newspaper
• Place the container on a sunny draught-free window sill
• Water once per day on top of the newspaper 
• After 2-4 days the sprouts will begin pushing up the newspaper - remove the newspaper
• Harvest with scissors when sprouts are 4-8cms

Growing Guide (Sprouts)

• Soak seeds in water for approx 12 hours
• Drain in a sieve and rinse with cold water
• Transfer seeds to a sprouting vessel - these can be purchased, but can easily be made from recycled glass or plastic jars with lids or gauze
• If using lids on the jars needs, the lid needs to have lots of small holes to allow water to drain but not allow the seeds to fall through
• I find some gauze secured with elastic bands works perfectly well
• Place in a cool dark place (eg larder or kitchen cupboard) for 48 hours
• During this period, rinse the seeds and drain 3 times a day
• Sprouting seeds should be visible from day 2
• Once the sprouts are 2-2.5cm long bring the jar into some nice indirect light
• After about 12 hours the seeds should take on a lovely green colour
• Rinse the seeds, drain and then harvest 
• Sprouts can be dried off before storing in containers using a spinner or a paper towel
